A Promise of Peridot

By: Kate Golden

Narrated by: Will Damron, Ruby Cherise

The next seductive, sweeping, action-packed installment in the addictive Sacred Stones trilogy.

A prophecy of death. A weapon of hope. A sacrifice of love.

Arwen Valondale is sailing for the mysterious Kingdom of Citrine after the battle of Siren’s Bay. Still reeling from the loss of her mother and the shock of her newfound powers, Arwen directs all of her pain and rage toward the man who betrayed her: King Kane Ravenwood.

But Kane’s presence is unavoidable as he leads Arwen and her friends on an expedition to recover the Blade of the Sun—a legendary weapon with the power to kill tyrannical Fae King Lazarus. Their uneasy truce proves difficult to maintain, as Arwen battles her unresolved feelings, and Kane is willing to become darkness itself to protect her.

Arwen knows failure to fulfill the prophecy will seal both her own fate as well as the fates of those she loves most. But as Arwen faces creatures, foes, and magic beyond her wildest imaginings, her resolve is tested in ways she never could have foreseen.

Even better than the first book

This book was full of adventure and romance. It was so well written and I really enjoyed Kain’s POV. He is so down bad for Arwen.

Descriptive emotion and spice

It’s written pretty descriptive that it feels like youre there. The spice was also upped in this one, it was really steamy and kinda unexpected

Exciting story.

I enjoyed this book. I liked the characters, Arwen and Kane. They must retrieve a blade to kill the Fae king.

Next book please

This series just gets better. Kate Golden sure knows how to keep me coming back for more. This is the second book in The Sacred Stones series, and it has everything I love in a Romantasy book. Action, adventure, great characters, and sizzling chemistry. Kane and Arwen are both complex characters and had great growth in this book. Arwen especially had to deal with a lot. Watching her go through the stages and grieving and depression that comes with it was heartbreaking. I also lived for Griffin’s and Mari’s interactions; I so hope we see more of them in the next book! And narration was great as well.

Story is amazing~❤️

Story just gets better and better, world expands more, and pacing is great!
Love how Arwen doesn't just fall back into Kane's arms, it takes time and Arwen's reaction is so valid.
